A prism is a three-dimensional geometric figure that has the following specific attributes:
1. **Parallel Identical Bases**: A prism has two congruent and parallel bases that are identical in shape and size.
2. **Lateral Faces**: The sides of a prism, known as lateral faces, are parallelograms (or rectangles in the case of a right prism), and they connect the edges of the two bases.
3. **Height**: The height (or length) of the prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.
4. **Three-Dimensional Structure**: A prism has three dimensions: height, length, and width.
These characteristics distinguish a prism from other geometric figures.
(Note: The other definitions mentioned, such as "a point where two or more line segments meet" or "the top or bottom face of a solid object," do not describe a prism.)
